Table 1. IC50 Values (μM) of Corilagin and TGG in Antioxidant Assaysa.
Assays | Corilagin | TGG | Trolox |
---|---|---|---|
Fe2+-chelation | 7 ± 1a | 11 ± 4b | 14 ± 2b, * |
PTIO•-scavenging (pH 7.4) | 94 ± 8a | 115 ± 11b | 445 ± 35c |
PTIO•-scavenging (pH 4.5) | 204 ± 13a | 290 ± 35b | 289 ± 27b |
FRAP | 12 ± 1a | 35 ± 2b | 81 ± 2c |
DPPH•-scavenging | 1 ± 0a | 1 ± 0a | 7 ± 0b |
The IC50 value (in μM unit) was defined as the final concentration of 50% radical inhibition or relative reducing/chelating power, which was calculated via linear regression analysis (Figures S12–16, Supporting Information) and expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 3). The linear regression was analyzed by the Origin 2017 professional software. The IC50 values with different superscripts (a, b, or c) in the same row, differ significantly (p < 0.05). Trolox is the positive control (*denotes that the positive control is sodium citrate instead of Trolox). PTIO•, 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide radical; FRAP, Fe3+-reducing antioxidant power; DPPH•, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical.
